Want to buy a tool box

Any recommendations? I don't want to pay Snap-on or Matco for their boxes. I would however consider paying Craftsman or Harbor Freight Tools for their boxes. They can be ball bearing or not.

what size do you need. Me and Irish have similar 40" boxes from Craftsman and Joel has my old one, it's a 13-drawer 26" model....it all depends on requirements...

I want to get a 42" box. I have a 26" craftman plus a stack on top of that.

I have a 35 Anniversery Ford Mustang Mac Tools box bout 6" high 25 drawers and a Craftsman 14 waist hight box, and they are built almost exactly the same. Even the Cobalt boxes are not that bad. I would def get a box with ball bearing drawers.
